an eminence, at a little didance. On arriving there, he 
introduced them to his wife, an old woman, who, after 
recovering from her aftonifh merit at the tight of figures fo

The pptfefiion of this ifland would be of tuch importance 
to any European nation who wifhed to trade fecurely. with 
Tung-quin and Cochin-china, that it is tfaid the French 
had formerly fome thoughts of purchafing it. Sir George 
Staunton, however, is of opinion, that the want of (belter 
in the fouth-weft monfoon would render it of L;tie value, 
without a further fettlement near it upon the main land 
of Cochin-china ; and he thinks, that if a f'olid eftablifh- 
ment there could be productive of advantage to any Eu¬ 
ropean nation, it would neceffarily be fo to Great Britain; 
becaufe, befides the opening which it would make for the 
fiale of Britifli rnamifaftures among-the people of the coun¬ 
try, the Britilh poffeflions in Hindoottan would be lure of 
a very confiderable demand for their productions.
